Cool Gear Inc. 16 oz. Can + 22 oz Vortex Review and #Giveaway

As many of you know I am extremely green friendly and using reusable cups and water bottles is just one small thing I can do to help out in a big way. My family very rarely uses paper/plastic anything because I won't let them. Dane is frequently yelling at his grandparents about all the things they could be recycling that they aren't which makes me so proud!

Dane is about to turn five and knows how important this is for all of us to take part in. This almost brings tears to my eyes each time he asks questions about cutting down trees or polluting our oceans - yes he actually discusses these topics frequently. I was very excited to receive two new and awesome products from Cool Gear recently.

Cool Gear provides all sorts of eco-friendly products that just about anyone can use. They have everything from reusable cups and self filtering water bottles to salad containers and ice blocks for entertaining. Its great see such a variety from a company trying contribute in a fun way to the three R's (reduce, reuse, recycle). "Since 1986, we have been conceptualizing and developing ideas, turning them into products and bringing them to the marketplace. We deliver innovative and imaginative products to the marketplace while providing a 100% customer satisfaction policy."

I received the coolgearcan™ and the 22 oz Vortex to review which perfectly complimented a few other Healthy Living gadgets I happen to be reviewing at the same time! The Vortex mug/cup is truly a sleek design. Whats great is it has double wall insulation so I can keep both hot and cold beverages at the correct temps. The spill proof design saves me tons of stress since I carry my beverages every where I go and we know what a hazard the little ones can be!

Now the coolgearcan™ I found to be especially "cool" as I had actually bought one from Target a while back. It conveniently fits in most cup holders and works great for me when making my own soda (from my Soda Stream machine) to car just like I would any other can. The difference is this is reusable and I don't have to worry about taking cans back to the recycling center to get my can deposit back!

Although this one has a Spill-proof slider lid, I wouldn't recommend shaking this upside down over your computer or anything. Both glasses are BPA Free but the coolgearcan™ should be hand washed only whereas the Vortex cup can be easily thrown in the dishwasher for clean up. The coolgearcan™ also comes in a TON of different patterns and colors so you could have a hard time deciding on just one like we did!

Cost/Available to purchase: $11.99 - 22oz Vortex
$9.99 - 16oz coolgearcan™Store Locator
Recommendation: I would recommend these "cool" products to everyone and anyone. Cool Gear not only makes a difference but can also save you money. Each time I check out their site they have new creative products for everyone and anyone to use - kids or adults. Over the last few years I have bought myself several other Cool Gear products when I find them in stores.

(Cool Gear Inc. 16 oz. Can + 22 oz Vortex Review ) This looks like a nice cup to have for in my car. I am always spilling stuff in the car all the time it seems, this would really help to stop that problem for me.

I. WANT. this! I'm the same way, carry drinks with me everywhere and with a toddler up my butt all day and another newbie on the way, this would be such a life saver! I'm still not totally certain on how the top works, but the resealable can top is such a cool idea!

These are nice containers and I like that they are reusable and have seals to close them. I usually buy soda in 2-liter bottles and just use a glass mug at home, but this would be good for when we are driving around town. Thanks for the info.

I would love to try the coolgearcan. Though I think you're right, I would have a really hard time deciding on the designs. I've seen these around and every design is cute, colorful, and fun. These would be great for my kids as well. Perfect for the family that's on the go.

I really like the idea of the self filtering water bottles--it's hard for us to break the habit of store bought water (yes, we absolutely recycle), I don't like all the plastic we end up using on a regular basis, yet our tap water is just awful. We've tried 2 other filtering systems, they just didn't work out for us (the taste, and the extreme inconvenience that these particular water filtering systems entailed), maybe something as simple as one cup at a time would be feasible/practical for us. Never thought of that.

The Cool Gear is just that. I love all the designs available but what I like more than the designs is it gives me a way to drink our water on the go right from the tap without buying water in all those plastic bottles that fill many landfills or you have to take back for recycle but what happens from there bothers me too. The ez-freeze pure 30oz bottlefilter & freezer stick system has enough water to meet my needs on the go and the filter means I can drink from the tap because it filters it for me and the freezer stick keeps it cold. They thought of everything. Thanks for sharing this review~!

Love this product line for sure! I especially love the self filtering water bottles..... simply awesome! Thanks so much for the fabulous post, review and giveaway with the Nutri Bullet System and this wonderful water bottle!
